Some interesting issues raised in the last couple of posts. If you have time it would be well worth it checking out some articles over at http://www.theologynetwork.org/christian-beliefs/the-bible/getting-stuck-in/the-inerrancy-of-scripture.htm or at http://bethinking.org/bible-jesus/ <BR/>and if you want the full treatment try something like this http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/Seminars/1722_Why_We_Believe_the_Bible/#WhichBooks which gives some a pretty thorough response <BR/><BR/>Take carePhilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02924050376023993196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832328473150670910.post-453090748713002432008-11-10T16:34:00.000Z2008-11-10T16:34:00.000ZI was just going to suggest the same thing when I saw this post so, I'll just echo my anonymous friend.<BR/>My wife and I have found it so liberating (it's only a course but it's based solely on Biblical Truth - which is why it works!).<BR/>God has used it to help deal with many issues from the past -including guilt.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and guide you to the abundant life Jesus promised :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832328473150670910.post-45367102016754702532008-09-30T18:16:00.000+01:002008-09-30T18:16:00.000+01:00Have you read The Bondage Breaker or Victory Over the Darkness by Neil Anderson?

As far as how does someone forgive themselves? Well, as one who has done some incredibly foolish, stupid things that I so wish I could take back, I would say this - I don't know the answer to that question. And I haven't walked in your shoes. But I do know this - if God has forgiven us, which He has, then I don't think that He wants us to carry around a load of stuff that He's already forgotten. It says in the Bible that He has removed our sins and placed them as far as the east is from the west (the Micah version, but it's pretty close). So that to me means that He not only does He remove them and put them as far away as possible (meaning they're pretty much gone), but He wants us to do the same. Forget that they were once there. That's hard to do; I've found that it requires a lot of faith and a lot of time. But then at some point, you look back over your life, and you realize that you did forgive and forget. Not sure if that helps?! But maybe so. Blessings to you!! :)Micahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01319912721519795379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7832328473150670910.post-68499972421307282072008-06-11T21:12:00.000+01:002008-06-11T21:12:00.000+01:00Hi. Stumbled my way over here from Phil Whittall's blog, just wanted to say something to encourage you and say keep on bloggin'!<BR/><BR/>And here's my favourite summary of grace: God's radical action changes everything! Simple really...<BR/><BR/>Grace and peace to you :-)Pilgrimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05709049598918097427noreply@blogger.com
